NovelEnglishChapter 838 Video? What video? Selena was momentarily confused, but then it hit her.
Behind her, the big projector screen had swapped from the voting page to that infamous video.
In the clip, Everett stepped out of the lounge first. After a pause, Selena followed, looking disheveled with her clothes askew and conspicuous love bites on her neck. Alone with a man in a room, you can guess the rest.
Then Joy confronted Selena, and things got heated. With a dark expression, Selena grabbed Joy's hair and slammed her against the wall, leaving Joy crumpled on the floor.

And with the sound muted, leaving just the visuals, the room buzzed with whispers and wild guesses.
Classmate 1: "Whoa, what's happening here? Weren't Selena and Joy besties? How did it get so ugly? And Selena's always been so gentle; how's she throwing punches now?" Classmate 2: "Do you even need to ask? It's all there in the video. Everyone knows Bennett Corporation and Kesler International are merging. Joy's Mr. Everett's fiancée, yet he's still messing around with his ex-wife right under her nose. Gross!" Classmate 3: "Seriously? I just said Selena was beautiful and sweet, but behind the scenes, she's like this? Where's she getting her money from, anyway? Probably from seducing other people's husbands!" Classmate 4: "I don't think Mr. Everett's at fault here. If he really liked Selena, he wouldn't have divorced her and picked Joy. Selena probably can't handle being dumped, so she used her charms to lure Mr. Everett, only to get caught by Joy. And then she flipped and attacked Joy. Joy's the real victim. Selena, with her lack of morals, doesn't belong at this school. She might corrupt the younger students!" But there were a few level-headed students who weren't so quick to judge, knowing that looks can be deceiving and it's better to wait for the dust to settle.
These harsh words naturally reached Selena's ears.
Her fists clenched tighter and tighter.
No wonder Joy was so chill today. She wanted Selena to soak up the spotlight, only to yank it away when she least expected, sending ber crashing down.
Joy, with her PR smarts, knew exactly how to twist public opinion and turn the spotlight to her advantage.
At the last Chamber of Commerce gala, when Selena didn't break down despite Joy's provocations, Joy twisted that to fuel her next attack.
Even if the truth wasn't what everyone assumed.
But who cared about the truth? The crowd just wanted a show. The sfolks who were praising her moments ago were now tearing her apart with the senthusiasm.

And the media? They only cared about juicy stories, got whether the video was real. Joy had everyone figured out, crafting this storm to hit Selena hard.
The school officials were just as stunned. The meeting was supposed to wrap up with a gift. Ceremony and Pup a awards after the voting. Now, they were quietly kicking themselves over the chaos. The principal, trying to keep it together, stood up to calm things down.
"Everyone, letsay something. I think there might be smisunderstanding here. Selena and Joy were always known as the best of friends, a famous duo during their school days. I believe it's not as everyone imagines." As he spoke, the principal kept signaling to Joy, hoping she'd step in and help cool things down before they spiraled out of control.
